Cosmic Fantasy League

Many Moons ago, Capricorn Research believed it had stumbled upon a staggering finding that showed Virgo as being the most common sign amongst Premier League players. Virgo, Scorpio and Sagittarius scored highly with Gemini, Cancer and Leo scoring no more than half as many. It seemed astonishing, but no particular astrological reason could explain Virgo’s dominance. On closer viewing, it was realised that the first 10 degrees of Virgo scored as low as Leo. What in fact had been discovered was a seasonal bias that could be attributed to the age of a child in their year at school.

As children join the reception class there is a wide difference in their ages, a September born would be 5 and an August child barely 4. This would be evidenced by all of their abilities but in physical terms and in confidence in their movement patterns the September children would be far ahead of their August counterparts. As they got older one would expect this difference to become less important but a glance at the research shows that it has a major impact even 20 years later when they are playing football for a living.

There has been much research done to prove this but it has to be said that the phenomena is more significant in the Premier League than in other leagues abroad. This could be due to different school intakes but sadly it seems to point to an indictment of English football in that its physically stronger youngsters are more likely to make it than in other leagues. It seems that the old ‘ lump it up to the big centre forward ‘ idea starts very young in England.

The one thing that was noticed in the research was that there were more truly world class players with the Sun in Scorpio than in any other sign. This would make sense, but of course the decision on who is best must be fairly subjective.

Capricorn Research has decided to pick 12 teams for the ultimate Cosmic Fantasy League based purely on Sun signs so readers can make their own choice.

An incredible team, with that formidable forward line these Arians would frighten the life any opponents and a cultured defensive unit would easily deal with anything thrown at them. The subs bench could be stronger, however and in true Aries fashion they may not have the staying power to win the 22 games, home and away, required to win the Cosmic Fantasy League.

This Taurean side looks very solid with players you can rely on to consistently produce good stuff over the course of a season, but they may be a little short when it comes to goalscoring compared to some of the others. Also some of these Bulls in defence may get a few red cards waved at them.

An unbelievably strong Cancerian side with a forward line to die for and a cultured midfield providing strong nourishing support. The only slight question mark is do they have the necessary toughness to go with the subtlety and sensitivity that is clear throughout the squad.

There are some really tough characters amongst this Leo side and clearly they would be convinced about being world beaters. Overconfidence could be a problem and maybe the weakness is in goal, and defensively they are strong but perhaps not the fastest, maybe they could be beaten on the counter attack.

This is a stunningly powerful Scorpio side with the strongest possible forward line. They have it within them to rise above everyone else and the capacity to dig deep to find the inner inspiration needed. Surely the favourites for the Cosmic Fantasy League.

Another staggering side with great vision going forward and surely the strongest attacking subs bench in the Cosmic Fantasy League. Equality is an Aquarian concept and there were so many world class attackers that didn’t even make the squad. Defence and conserving the lead that their strike force would inevitably give them would be their problem, however.

The Piscean side is very cultured and highly skilled full of intelligent creativity and fluid and inspired passing. The weakness is in defence, however and they would not be expected to hold out against the very best.

So the Zodiac League would provide the very best football available anywhere in the Cosmos. Prediction is always difficult but Capricorn Research is up for the challenge.

Can’t believe you have put the Saggi team last! Sagittarius is surely one of the luckiest side’s with Jupiter on are side and sporty, just don’t put a female physio in the squad! LOL Think of Alanso (what a footballer this man is…..I watched him at Anfield many times from the Kop. He had a fantastic football brain, maybe not as many goals as Gerard or as quick but what vision and passing ability ahhhhh. Stevie Nicol very underrated, think of all the titles and cups he has won? Being a red hot Liverpool fan and with Sun,Venus, Mercury and Saturn in Sag maybe I’m a tad biased!LOL
